Introduction

This is the source code for the game server of Pokémon Showdown, a website for Pokémon battling. Pokémon Showdown simulates singles, doubles and triples battles in all the games out so far (Generations 1 through 7).

This repository contains the files needed to set up your own Pokémon Showdown server. Note that to set up a server, you’ll also need a server computer.

You can use your own computer as a server, but for other people to connect to your computer, you’ll need to expose a port (default is 8000 but you can choose a different one) to connect to, which sometimes requires port forwarding. Note that some internet providers don’t let you host a server at all, in which case you’ll have to rent a VPS to use as a server.

Installing

./pokemon-showdown

(Requires Node.js 8+)

Detailed installation instructions

Pokémon Showdown requires you to have Node.js installed, 8.x or later (7.7 or later can work, but you might as well be on the latest stable).

Next, obtain a copy of Pokémon Showdown. If you’re reading this outside of GitHub, you’ve probably already done this. If you’re reading this in GitHub, there’s a “Clone or download” button near the top right (it’s green). I recommend the “Open in Desktop” method – you need to install GitHub Desktop which is more work than “Download ZIP”, but it makes it much easier to update in the long run (it lets you use the /updateserver command).

Pokémon Showdown is installed and run using a command line. In Mac OS X, open Terminal (it’s in Utilities). In Windows, open Command Prompt (type cmd into the Start menu and it should be the first result). Type this into the command line:

cd LOCATION

Replace LOCATION with the location Pokémon Showdown is in (ending up with, for instance, cd "~/Downloads/Pokemon-Showdown" or cd "C:\Users\Bob\Downloads\Pokemon-Showdown\").

This will set your command line’s location to Pokémon Showdown’s folder. You’ll have to do this each time you open a command line to run commands for Pokémon Showdown.

Copy config/config-example.js into config/config.js, and edit as you please.

Congratulations, you’re done setting up Pokémon Showdown.

Now, to start Pokémon Showdown, run the command:

node pokemon-showdown

(If you’re not on Windows, we recommend doing ./pokemon-showdown instead.)

You can also specify a port:

node pokemon-showdown 8000

Visit your server at http://SERVER:8000

Replace SERVER with your server domain or IP. Replace 8000 with your port if it’s not 8000 (the default port).

Yes, you can test even if you are behind a NAT without port forwarding: http://localhost:8000 will connect to your local machine. Some browser setups might prevent this sort of connection, however (NoScript, for instance). If you can’t get connecting locally to work in Firefox, try Chrome.

You will be redirected to http://SERVER.psim.us. The reason your server is visited through psim.us is to make it more difficult for servers to see a user’s password in any form, by handling logins globally. You can embed this in an iframe in your website if the URL is a big deal with you.

Setting up an Administrator account

Once your server is up, you probably want to make yourself an Administrator (~) on it.

config/usergroups.csv

To become an Administrator, create a file named config/usergroups.csv containing

USER,~

Replace USER with the username that you would like to become an Administrator. Do not put a space between the comma and the tilde.

This username must be registered. If you do not have a registered account, you can create one using the Register button in the settings menu (it looks like a gear) in the upper-right of Pokémon Showdown.

Once you’re an administrator, you can promote/demote others easily with the /globaladmin, /globalleader, /globalmod, etc commands.

Browser support

Pokémon Showdown currently supports, in order of preference:

Chrome

Firefox

Opera

Safari 5+

IE11+

Chrome/Firefox/Safari for various mobile devices

Pokémon Showdown is usable, but expect degraded performance and certain features not to work in:

Safari 4+

IE9+

Pokémon Showdown is mostly developed on Chrome, and Chrome or the desktop client is required for certain features like dragging-and-dropping teams from PS to your computer. However, bugs reported on any supported browser will usually be fixed pretty quickly.

Description of ARC Welder

There are lots of ways to run Android applications on your desktop computer. ARC Welder is an extension for Chrome that allows you to run them directly from your navigator using APK files, which is the easiest way possible.

Once the extension is installed, you need to select a folder where all the temporary files generated by the application will be stored. After that, you can select the application you want to run, which must already be downloaded to your device. Although it´s not possible to do this with Google Play, in Uptodown our whole catalogue is available in APK format, the packaging system used by Android. Once the file is selected, you can configure some parameters before running it, such as defining the application’s sizing or the computer shape factor that specifies whether it will run on a smartphone or on a tablet.

The compatibility list gets better with every new version. It’s capable of working with Instagram, an application that allows you to upload pictures directly from your PC, which you can’t do in any other way (or at least in any other safe and secure way). Also, the application can detect and use external devices like a webcam from your PC, utilizing it as if it were a smartphone camera.

ARC Welder is a tool that can open many doors by unifying the operating systems of your desktop computer and your Android. It allows you to run applications native to Google’s operating system using the comfortable, integrated system of your navigator.
